Product Description
Superalloys are unique high-temperature materials used in gas turbine engines, which display excellent resistance to mechanical and chemical degradation. This book presents the underlying metallurgical principles which have guided their development and practical aspects of component design and fabrication from an engineering standpoint. The topics of alloy design, process development, component engineering, lifetime estimation and materials behaviour are described, with emphasis on critical components such as turbine blading and discs. The first introductory text on this class of materials, it will provide a strong grounding for those studying physical metallurgy at the advanced level, as well as practising engineers. Included at the end of each chapter are exercises designed to test the reader's understanding of the underlying principles presented. Solutions for instructors and additional resources are available at www.cambridge.org/9780521859042.

Good primer on superalloys August 14, 2007

Just read this book and thought it did a very good job introducing a technical person to superalloys for gas turbine engines. Reed combines the technical and practical issues of these alloys in a very readable manner. He covers the relevant materials science topics, and also gets into the basics of processing, and applications like disks and blades. Being a scientist involved with high temperature materials for more than 20 years, and having published many papers in the subject area, I can vouch to the quality of the book and would recommend it to anyone working on or with high temperature alloys, or, to a student in ME, materials science or metallurgy. He also does a good job reporting on very recent efforts in areas like alloy development and life prediction.
